Denuevo, Althea U.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intrapreneurship and business performance of micro, small and medium enterprises in Iloilo City, Philippines. Intrapreneurship includes new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal and proactiveness dimensions while business performance includes financial and market performance. Survey data were collected from 162 MSME owners and managers from industries namely; manufacturing, wholesale, retail trade and repair services, accommodation/food services, financial and insurance services, and other services. Results confirmed that there was a positive correlation between intrapreneurship and business performance. A significant difference was detected in the level of innovativeness when MSMEs were grouped according to type of business. Majority of the MSMEs were operating between 5 to 14 years and mostly were micro enterprises and sole proprietorship. Marketing and operations activities were very highly practiced by enterprises. Support from other concerned entities was highest-rated in comparison with partnership with academe and government support. The highest mean score for proactiveness indicated a high level of intrapreneurship. Medium enterprises and those in business operation for 45 years and more had very high market performance. Based on the findings of the financial research, MSMEs had favorable financial performance from 2015 to 2019. The strong returns on sales, assets, and equity were indicators that businesses were performing well. Additionally, they were able to pay their present debts due, and assets were mostly financed by owners’ equity rather than liabilities from creditors. The focus group discussion provided more evidence that businesses were viable. Results were presented to MSME owners in order to discuss potential collaboration between governmental agencies, academic institutions, private businesses, and MSMEs. To encourage an intrapreneurship culture within the organization, where creativity and innovation can be fostered for the enhancement of business performance, an efficient and successful intrapreneurship program was recommended.

Golilao, Christine B.
This survey-predictive-correlational research was conducted to determine the financial attitude and management practices as predictors of financial freedom among the faculty in private higher education institutions in Iloilo City as inputs to a Human Resource Development Plan. Conducted in May 2022, 205 randomly selected regular full-time faculty members in three private HEIs for academic year 2021-2022 responded to the four researcher-made data-gathering instruments—the Financial Literacy Questionnaire; a Rating Scale on Financial Attitude; a Rating Scale on Financial Management Practices; and a Rating Scale on Financial Freedom. Data-gathering was administered through an electronic form (google form) with the link sent via email or through other social media platforms such as Facebook and Messenger. Six identified respondents from the three private HEIs were invited to a Zoom meeting for the Focused Group Discussion. Transcribed data were utilized for qualitative analysis. Quantitative data were processed via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 2.0. Frequency count, percentage analysis, means, and standard deviations were employed in the descriptive data analysis. The Pearson's r and the Multiple Regression Analysis, set at .05 alpha level, were employed in the inferential analysis. Study results revealed the following: The respondents had high literacy in budgeting and debts/borrowing and average literacy in savings/investments. Generally, they had positive financial attitude when taken as an entire group and in terms of debts/borrowings, and savings/investments; and very positive attitude in terms of budgeting; practiced financial management in all three constructs—budgeting, debts/borrowings, and savings/investments to a high extent; and had high financial freedom in all three constructs—availability, sufficiency, and savings/investments. Majority of the socio-demographic profile and financial literacy profile were positively and significantly related to financial attitude in all three constructs--budgeting, debts/borrowings, and savings/investments; financial management practices in all three constructs-- budgeting, debts/borrowings, and savings/investments; and financial freedom in all three constructs--availability, sufficiency, and savings/investments. Financial attitude, financial management practices and financial freedom (in majority of their identified constructs) were positively and significantly related. Financial management practices in terms of savings/investments, financial attitude, and number of dependents were significant predictors of the respondents’ financial freedom in terms of availability. Financial management practices in terms of savings/investments; financial attitude in terms of savings/investments; number of dependents, overall financial literacy; and net take-home pay were found to significantly predict the respondents’ financial freedom in terms of sufficiency. Financial management practices in terms of savings/investments, age, academic rank, income from other sources, and financial attitude in terms of debts/borrowings were found to significantly predict the respondents’ financial freedom in terms of savings/investments. A Human Resource Development Plan for Private Higher Education Institutions was prepared as an offshoot of the study.

However, due to limited manpower, material and time, no comprehensive personal general survey had been conducted. Instead, more than 3600 staff from the 18 regional cable TV network systems within Guangdong Province except Shaoguan, Yangjiang, Jieyang and Maoming was given questionnaire investigation by delivery or email. Sampling was based on the current enterprises statistics, which was further divided into five areas: GuangShen district, Southern Guangdong district, Northern Guangdong district, Eastern Guangdong district and Western Guangdong district.

Age, position level, professional title, and length of service have significance in task significance dimension of job characteristics. Position level has significance in autonomy, feedback, other-man feedback dimension of job characteristics. Gender, position level and professional title have significance in other-man cooperative.
(2) There is significant variation on work similarity from education degree, title and position level do have significant influence on work similarity.
(3) Education degree, title and length of service have huge influence on job satisfaction.
(4) There is significant variation on turnover intention from age, education degree, title and length of service.
(5) GDCATV network technical staff’s job characteristics and job satisfaction are significantly correlated.
(6) GDCATV network technical staff’s work similarity and job satisfaction are significantly correlated.
(7) GDCATV network technical staff’s work similarity and job characteristics are significantly correlated.
(8) GDCATV network technical staff’s job characteristics and turnover intention are significantly correlated
(9) GDCATV network technical staff’s work similarity and turnover intention are significantly correlated.
(10) GDCATV network technical staff’s job satisfaction and turnover intention are significantly correlated
(11) Intrinsic and extrinsic satisfactions exert obvious negative influence on turnover psychology or thoughts and Idea of seeking new jobs. Functional similarity and Technical similarity exert obvious positive influence on turnover psychology or thoughts and idea of seeking new jobs.
Based on the research conclusions, it is recommended that enterprise operators or managers should be aware of work similarity as Reference in Technical Personnel Stabilization, pay attention to two networks’ work similarity in order to prevent “Undermining the Foundation”, and unceasingly improve Technical Staff’s Job Satisfaction. They need to improve professional quality, professional skills like participating in scientific management and shift from role play to organization influence should be undertaken by the network technical staffs. Future researches can further explore manager’s view on work similarity and the psychological aspect as another dimension.
